First-Degree Murder
R. v. D.M. | 2018 | HAMILTON
Client charged with First-Degree Murder in June 2016. I successfully argued for bail in December 2016. In January 2018, I had his videotaped statement, which included a confession to being at the murder, excluded from trial. In August 2018, the Crown accepted a plea to Manslaughter and in October he was sentenced to 5 years in jail; while one co-accused received a 10-year sentence for Manslaughter and the other was convicted of First-Degree Murder.
